One of the books I currently have on the go is "A Mighty Heart" by Mariane Pearl. She is the widow of the Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl, who was beheaded in Karachi, Pakistan by Muslim Extremists in early 2002. Their love for the world, truth, and peace are remarkable, and their love story is a poignant one in contrast to the hate that shattered their lives. Mariane Pearl is a remarkable and strong woman who will inspire you. If you don't have time to read the book, check out this audio interview she gave with Oprah Winfrey.
UPDATE: Oh my gawd, read this wonderful book! Despite the horrible murder of her husband (or because of it?), Mariane Pearl has written one of the most beautiful, moving, inspiring, and life-affirming books I have ever read.

A non-food comment..haha...a book that I really enjoyed last year was, "Luckiest Man" by Jonathan Eig. It is the story of baseball great Lou Gehrig. The book, which of course is about baseball, tells of his life as an awkward youth growing up in New York City, his relatonship with his mother and and his wife and of the disease that ended his short life and now bears his name. More than just a sports biography.....cheers. S
